Maybe She'll Be a Trail Runner

The Boston Marathon?  Four out of the top 10 male runners were Ethiopian.  Our very own Lancaster's Race Against Racism held yesterday?   Both male and female winners were Ethiopian.  Philadelphia's Broad Street Run held today?  The same dude who placed first in Lancaster yesterday woke up and did it again in Philly today.  Yowzaaas. 

My girl?  Oh yeah--she's got the genes all right ('cause we all know she didn't get any athletic abilities from me).  

Give her a wide open space and she delightfully goes in circles at her highest speed.



She's got motivation, that's fo' sho'.   She's already run her own emotional marathon and won, so I highly doubt this child will ever place last at anything that she puts her mind to in this life.
